Booze Salad with Melon

Happy Wednesday! Here’s a fun little recipe to get you over the midweek hump. (Hey! It’s not drinking if you’re using a utensil, right?)

What you’ll need:

1/2 cup Cranberry Clementine SweetShine (chilled)

Watermelon

Honeydew

Cantaloupe

1/2 cup fresh Basil, loosely packed

Ball your melon and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Measure 1/2 cup fresh Basil.

And 1/2 cup Cranberry Clementine SweetShine.

Add those 2 ingredients to your blender and pulse until Basil is finely chopped.

Pour Cranberry Clementine-Basil mixture over melon and stir to coat.

Garnish with fresh Basil.

Cheers, y’all!
